<p>waitlist isn’t included in the 7% acceptance rate
but REA is i think,so I think its around 6%?
can someone refresh me with how many people applied REA this year and the acceptance rates?</p>
<p>Acceptance rate for REA was about 12% I think. Good luck you guys! I’m a REA reject. 
Haha, just remember that if you’re rejected, you WILL get over it. Trust me.</p>
<p>I remember sending myself a letter on futureme.com (or some similar website) basically saying “chill out, your college acceptance/rejection will not validate or negate the effort you have put in for the last 17 years of your life”. I like sending my future self letters, it calms me down xD</p>
<p>Omg… I just reread the first email Stanford sent us after submitting the application, and noticed we had to click on a link to verify that we had received the email… I don’t remember if I did this lol but what if I hadn’t? It said clicking on the link was very important o_O I hope I didn’t miss any emails…How many emails did you all receive from Stanford?</p>
<p>^^
after that email saying to click the link, the only other email i received was the decision letter (EDIT: and emails pertaining to accepted students)
i think it is to make sure that your decision email works correctly and all emails after that.</p>
<p>(I was an REA admit)</p>
<p>10 days, guys…geeez this is nerve-wracking.</p>
<p>yeah, i can hardly believe it. one more day and it will be a single-digit countdown!</p>
<p>Unfortunately, roughly 93% of those who have applied will not be offered admission this year and just 2-3% will be offered a space on our waiting list.
(from the admission news on the stanford website) so the acceptance rate is like less than even 5%</p>
<p>I want to send myself mail on futureme.com! That sounds SO FUNN! ahh!</p>

<p>Oh my goodness! It will be a mixture of a flood of tears and an echo of horrays and yays on April 1st.</p>
<p>Hope for the best, prepare for the worst people.</p>
<p>If you really deserve to go to Stanford, a 5% RD acceptance rate won’t keep you from getting in!</p>
<p>Yes, I’m sure only 5% of the RD applicans <em>deserve</em> to go to Stanford ;)</p>
<p>@SynapseLapse
you’re right, i was just trying to quell a bit of anxiety, haha</p>
<p>btw, like your name.</p>
<p>Wait, re: post #94–I took that quote to mean their acceptance rate was roughly 7%. Why are you subtracting the wait list percentages to arrive at 5%?</p>
<p>From admissions website: “Unfortunately, roughly 93% of those who have applied will not be offered admission this year and just 2-3% will be offered a space on our waiting list.”
So the acceptance rate is going to be between 4 and 5%.</p>
<p>8 days 6 hours and 20 minutes! wooooohoooo!</p>
<p>5%?</p>
<p><em>dies</em></p>
<p>Re post #101: The website statement might be a little confusing. The overall admission rate including early and regular acceptance will be 7%. The percentage of students offered admission from the waiting list is independent of the overall admit rate.</p>
<p>6 days!</p>
<p>…REALLY hoping 7 will be my lucky number, lol.</p>
<p>@MSG yeah, i think the website is just confusing…my super called my admission officer to have a chat and was told the acceptance rate will be about 7. waitlist is 2-3 on top of that, because in all likely hood, most of the waitlisted will not be offered admission because most acceptances are acted upon.</p>
